Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor
Munich, Germany
DesignAndaz Munich Schwabinger Tor suits travellers who would rather have a hotel with proper facilities than a room in the middle of the old town… It stands on Leopoldstraße in Schwabing, between the Olympic Stadium and the English Garden, and its spa, indoor pool with sundecks and rooftop bar with views towards the Alps make the evenings easy. Guests describe the rooms as spacious and modern with comfortable beds, praise warm staff who happily adapt meals to special diets, and come back for the breakfast, with dishes cooked fresh to order. The trade-off is distance. Several guests note that the old town is a taxi ride away. The bathroom has a window onto the bedroom, which not every couple will like, and breakfast adds noticeably to the bill when it is not part of the rate. If a spa, a good pool and a generous breakfast matter more than stepping straight out onto Marienplatz, it is a very good choice.
Why this position
Guests rate it above #3 (8.9 to 8.9) and on more reviews (1,284 to 213).
Rosewood Munich

Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.2 from 815 reviews. Scores higher than #4 (9.2 to 8.9), on a smaller body of reviews (815 to 1,284).
Louis Hotel
Munich, Germany
Louis Hotel is for travellers who want Munich's old town right outside the door… It faces the Viktualienmarkt, with its lively market and beer garden, and Marienplatz is a two-minute walk away, so almost everything in the centre is within walking distance. Guests praise the location more than anything, followed closely by friendly, helpful staff who have had rooms ready early for guests arriving after long journeys. The rooms are stylish and well kept, with French balconies, and minibar drinks, coffee and tea are included in the rate. A rooftop bar and the LOUIS Grillroom mean the evening can start in-house. The criticisms are mild. One guest found the bathroom lighting too dim, and another had to remind housekeeping before the room was serviced. There is no pool or spa, only a fitness centre that never closes, so anyone after wellness should look elsewhere. For a city break built around walking, markets and the old town, it is an excellent base.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #5 (959 to 815), at a slightly lower score (8.8 to 9.2).
Munich Marriott Hotel City West
Munich, Germany
Munich Marriott Hotel City West suits travellers who want a modern, well-run hotel and are happy to stay outside the old town… It stands on Landsberger Straße in Laim, west of the centre, and a tram stop right outside makes the trip into town short. Guests describe the rooms as new, spacious and very clean, with good air conditioning, and they speak warmly of friendly staff who go out of their way. The Italian restaurant's homemade pasta gets particular praise, the breakfast is generous, and guests with access to the M Club lounge rate it highly. The location is the main compromise. Several guests ended up taking taxis for most outings, and without booking ahead the wait can be long. Check-in and check-out can be slow, and the restaurant's service has dragged at busy times, with a short lunch menu. For travellers with a car, business in the west of the city or a preference for space over a central address, it is a comfortable and dependable choice.
Why this position
Guests rate it above #6 (8.8 to 8.8) and on more reviews (1,830 to 959).
BEYOND by Geisel
Munich, Germany
BEYOND by Geisel - is a luxury boutique hotel in front of Munich Town Hall. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar…
Why this position

DO & CO Hotel München
Munich, Germany
DO & CO Hotel München in Munich offers a convenient location with Deutsches Museum an 18-minute walk away, Marienplatz 200 metres nearby, and Rathaus-Glockenspiel just a 1-minute stroll…

Koenigshof

Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.1 from 445 reviews. Scores higher than #10 (9.1 to 8.7), on a smaller body of reviews (445 to 1,739).
Platzl Hotel
Munich, Germany
Affordable luxuryPlatzl Hotel suits travellers who want to be in the thick of Munich's old town and like a hotel with Bavarian character… Marienplatz and the Hofbräuhaus are both a two-minute walk away, and guests mention the location almost every time, along with friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms. The traditional décor, with plenty of wood, gives the hotel a warm, slightly luxurious feel, the breakfast is large, and the free spa with its rooftop sauna is a welcome way to end a long day in the city. In the evening, the hotel's own Wirtshaus Ayingers and its beer garden are close at hand. The main drawback is space. Several guests found the rooms small, especially for the price, and some show wear in places, although they are kept clean and well looked after. Rates also rise noticeably during Oktoberfest. If you will spend most of the day out in the city and want to walk everywhere, compact rooms are an easy trade for an address right in the centre.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.0 from 3,248 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Rests on more guest reviews than #11 (3,248 to 445), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.1).
